Please help me sort out my catagories box on my homepage

liquidq · August 31, 2006

Hi, the catagory list box on my site is written into my header.php file, see www.liquidq.co.uk. I have a backup of the original so I can put it back if I want but would like to narrow the box down.

The box was too wide so I have tried narrowing it down, most of it is ok but it has lost a verticle line down the left (no code was deleted just widths altered) and the catagory links are too far over to the left.

here is an image of how it looks at the moment:

Here is the code for the box copied from my header.php file

<tr>

<tr><td><div align="left"><b>Search LiquidQ.co.uk:</b></div></td></tr>

<? // SEARCH ?>

</div>

<?=tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get')?>

</form>

</table>

<? // END SEARCH ?>

</div></td></tr>

</table>

</tr>

</table>

<tr><td background=images/m200.gif width=195 height=39 class=ca valign=top style="padding-top:10px"><div align="center">BROWSE BY CATEGORIES</div></td>
